a light, refreshing grapefruit drink.... Recipe Source: mine... over the years of playing with it...

Provided by Jen Smallwood

Categories     Other Drinks

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 c grapefruit juice
1 1/2 Tbsp tequila
1 Tbsp pear syrup or grenadine (it's your choice)

Steps:

  • 1. Fill an 8- to 12-ounce glass with ice cubes. Add grapefruit juice and tequila and stir. Drizzle with pear syrup or grenadine - Garnish with a cherry and small slice of grapefruit

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy oranges and lemons. This will ensure that your Sunset Cooler is packed with flavor.
  • Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will add a nice spicy kick to your drink.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the sweetness of the drink to your liking. If you find that the drink is too sweet, you can add more lime juice or club soda. If you find that the drink is too tart, you can add more simple syrup.
  • Serve the Sunset Cooler immediately after it's made. This will prevent the ice from melting and diluting the drink.
  • Garnish the Sunset Cooler with a slice of orange or lemon and a sprig of mint. This will add a festive touch to your drink.

Conclusion:

The Sunset Cooler is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive drink, give the Sunset Cooler a try.
